Tuberculosis Screening/Testing Requirements
Why do I have to do this?
Missouri Law (RS 199.290) requires all Missouri institutions of higher education to perform a targeted tuberculosis testing program for all on-campus students. This law affects students who first enrolled for the spring 2014 semester or a subsequent semester and specifies that students must complete the requirement before registering for their second semester at the University.
